Product Description:

Elasticity is a game of tactics and good luck. When three or more bubbles of same color form a vertical or horizontal line, they disappear, allowing bubbles above them to fall down. You get score from each row you remove, and when the bonus bar on right side of the playfield overflows, you advance to the next level. You should try to get as high score as possible. (Chain reactions give a lot of score).

You move a bubble by swapping it with the one above, below, left or right to it. If the move does not form any rows, it is not valid. When you run out of moves (e.g. cannot swap any two bubbles to form any row), the game ends.

If you are confused in the game and don't find a bubble which you can move, keep your eye on the right side of the screen, where you may see a text "Click here for a hint". When you click that text, the game gives you hint of a bubble that can be moved. However, each hint requested removes 10% of bonus which is needed to complete the level.

The game features two game modes, the normal mode where you play until you have no moves left, and action mode, in which you must burst bubbles faster than the bonus bar drains.

    I like this game in an idle moment; it's simple and rather mindless to play. I don't like the music, so I wish there was a preference for setting it off permanently - as is, you have to set the music to zero every time you open it. Beware as well, that although the colored bubbles are supposed to appear randomly in the top row as columns collapse there is clearly a bias built-in as the game is received because you will achieve astronomical scores in your first several tries that are never to be repeated again.

    this to other games in the genre then we should remember to mention Bejeweled Deluxe by PopCap games. I'd give the VT link if I could, but VT doesn't list it. Check out www.popcap.com for some great Mac puzzle games. 4 stars, though, for a succesful clone of Bejeweled (timed and non-timed gameplay) and for the smooth graphics and great sound.
